  1. Thanks for forcing me to get these out of the box and out of the comic bags and look at them. Much lower grade than my lying memory. Maybe 2.0 - 3.0. Sigh. However, I personally plucked them off a spinner rack as a little boy from the local supermarket and somehow kept them. I just want the Dymo labels removed and the red pen from Sub-Marner's boobs and belt removed and put them in some kind of nice frame on the wall. I can see they have little collectable value given their poor condition. Anyhow, your reply is much appreciated.
  2. I do have a Collector's Society Membership and have submitted comics for grading before. The advice I'm getting here is much as I'd thought. The comics in question are Iron Man #1, Incredible Hulk #101 and Captain America #100 and Sub-Mariner #1 - the premiere issues of their solo titles from 1968. Replacing them through E-Bay quite costly too. I was only thinking that the glue must have deteriorated from 1968 by now and maybe there is some method the professionals know about. Without the defect I'd say they would grade at 6.0 to 6.5 in that range, so not super valuable. Thanks to all for the replies.
  3. Can CCS remove a Dymo label? I have some key Marvel comics from 1968 which I bought for cover price as a boy, I'd affixed a black Dymo label on the front covers - dead center of the cover - really stupid. I've never been able to remove the labels without destroying the paper beneath. The comics are not super valuable or in perfect condition, but I'd like to frame them for my wall. Can CCS restoration services remove these labels without damaging the comic cover? The comics may or may not be worth the price of restoring and I don't even know what it might cost to get this done. Information and advice needed.
